KEY MESSAGES

- A downward trend with temperatures through the weekend followed by another warm up next week.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH THURSDAY/

Issued at 107 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

The fast moving system that brought showers and storms to the area this morning will result in a dry night across the area.

On Thursday, wrap around clouds will move through the area with sprinkles or isolated rain showers. Breaks in the clouds will allow some peaks of sun but temperatures will average below normal.

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/

Issued at 107 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

Thursday night through Wednesday Assessment...a certainty of below normal temperatures through the weekend followed by another warm-up next week.

High pressure will remain across the upper Midwest and Great Lakes through the weekend resulting in below normal temperatures for the area. Starting next week southerly flow across the Plains will result in another warm-up that will push temperatures above normal again.

While there will be weak disturbances aloft moving through the area, their passage will be marked by passing clouds.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z FRIDAY/

Issued at 558 PM CST Wed Nov 11 2026

A deep upper trough will continue to dig into the Central to Eastern U.S. overnight into Thursday. Locally for eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois, expect a reinforcing push of low-level cold air advection with surface winds gusting 20-25 kts from late tonight through Thursday afternoon. The northerly flow aloft will result in occasional rounds of low clouds moving through, with ceilings between 2500-5000 ft AGL. Therefore, brief periods of MVFR are possible. Additionally, isolated light showers are possible Thursday morning but were not mentioned in the TAFs with this update due to low confidence.
